To put it more complicated, there is someone who can freely come and go in the heavily guarded prison, and also intends to frame the ministers of the DPRK. Who can have such ability?
The Criminal Department is investigating. If they can only find Zhou Ze in the end, then the person who wants to frame him will succeed. For now, they can only conduct a thorough investigation. No matter what, they must find out the truth.
until.
Lin Chong was still worried about this matter. The protagonist who troubled him was now thousands of miles away in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou Mansion is well known for its beautiful scenery. Countless beautiful legends have been circulated here since ancient times, such as the encounter between the White Snake and Xu Xian on the Broken Bridge.
Along the way, Ren Zanhua and Zhou Ze saw many local customs and tasted many special dishes.
To be honest, Ren Zanhua didn't like Zhou Ze very much at first. It was probably due to his nature as a royal censor for a long time. He didn't have a good impression of such a graceful and graceful person who was good at dancing. In fact, he also knew that Zhou Ze would follow him as long live the Lord.
Meaning, it became clearer that he came to show off his face because of the orders of Lord Long Live. It was really a thankless task.
Logically speaking, no one wants to be regarded as a treacherous minister by His Majesty the Emperor. The more treacherous the minister is, the more he likes to wear the mask of a good person, and the more he likes others to say that he is a rare virtuous minister.
As for Zhou Ze, Ren Zanhua never saw him complain or complain. He took good care of himself as an old man all the way. It is not an exaggeration to say that he took care of him. He slowed down the carriage, perhaps because he was afraid that he would brush against it.
In recognition of his kindness, he deliberately slowed down little by little.
I haven't given him a good look these days, but he is quite good. He doesn't seem to feel it at all. He should respect the etiquette and etiquette that he should have. When he encounters places of interest, he will explain them to him with great interest, regardless of whether they are there or not.
In response, I don’t know whether to say that Mr. Huang’s teachings are good or that this person is born this way.
It's just that a junior can do this, which makes Ren Zanhua, an elder, feel embarrassed. If he puts on an unhappy face, he will appear to be inhumane as an old guy.
Besides, after getting along with each other for so many days, Ren Zanhua had to admit that no one would dislike this kind of way of getting along with others. Just look at the way Zhou Ze accepted so much money from others and he was still grateful and called him a brother.
It's evident.
Even though he was engaged in the business of collecting people's money and helping them to eliminate disasters, this Duke of Zhou could always put on an air of understanding his righteousness, which really made Ren Zanhua unable to help but laugh.
Although he was unsmiling in front of local officials, once he returned to his place, he still acted like an obedient and sensible young man. He would carefully report the things he collected, and would also find ways to arrange for himself to listen to the conversations between him and the prefects. I listened to it twice.
In the end, Ren Zanhua couldn't bear it anymore. He had never done such sneaky things in his life. Although the other party knew about it, he was still thinking about how to tactfully mention this matter to Zhou Ze. As a result,
Zhou Ze seemed to be able to hear what he wanted to say in his stomach, and he never mentioned anything like this again.
Ren Zanhua felt that Zhou Ze might not want to continue listening to their conversation because he couldn't bear to see him do this. He wanted to say that it was not the case, but due to his identity and face, he could not say such a thing.
So Zhou Ze soon discovered that a cup of Mr. Ren’s favorite wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea often appeared on his desk. He took a sip of the tea. To be honest, he didn’t like this kind of bitter taste that only older people like at all.
Master Ren always put the tea in when he was away, and it had already been cold by the time he came back. But he still drank all the herbal tea in the cup, almost eating the leaves, and Master Ren wandered around.
I was very satisfied when I came to collect the cups, but the next day Zhou Ze had a stomachache all day long, which was another matter.
After several days of long journey, their current location was near King Rui's territory, that is, near Hanzhong. Lin Chong actually wanted to see this place in person, after all, Zhang Xianzhong was nearby.
But he really couldn't get away, so he had to ask Zhou Ze and Ren Zanhua to take a look at the general situation first. If there was any danger, retreat quickly. Safety was important. After all, there was not only King Rui, but also the murderer Zhang Xianzhong.
.
It is indeed not as peaceful here as in the north. You can often see soldiers in twos and threes walking through the streets carrying a few chickens and ducks, followed by the sound of crying and fighting. Ren Zanhua couldn't stand it and wanted to stop it.
Zhou Ze pressed him and shook his head gently.
Before arriving here, Zhou Ze had already asked Ren who was accompanying him to change their clothes in advance. Now they are either business ministers checking accounts, they are just a group of businessmen passing through here. In fact, Zhou Ze hopes that Lord Ren can follow some of them first.
After returning home, the stubborn old man refused to do anything, so Zhou Ze had no choice but to let him go.
But as soon as he arrived, he forgot what he had promised himself, and began to want to meddle unscrupulously, and began to dictate to the people around him to arrange everything.
Ren Zanhua was stopped, so he gave up. But Lin Chong could see that he was very unhappy, so Zhou Ze helped him. Later in the evening, Zhou Ze sent someone to invite several vendors from the day to the inn.
When these people saw Zhou Ze thanking him repeatedly, they were about to kneel down. Zhou Ze helped them up, pointed at Ren Zanhua who looked troubled in the distance and said: "Thank you, no need to thank him, he's the one in our family."
The old man can't bear to see people being wronged, so he asked me to help you. If you want to thank me, just thank us adults."
Several vendors came to Ren Zanhua and knelt down to thank him. Although Ren Zanhua didn't know what happened, he guessed that Zhou Ze secretly gave them some benefits and blamed it on himself.
She must have seen that she was dissatisfied with him during the day, and now she deliberately let herself know that he was actually a good person who was secretly hidden, so that she could feel ashamed and blame herself for what she did during the day, and Yushi Ren was very angry.
Zhou Ze waited for these people to calm down, and then asked in confusion: "We are not locals, we are just passing through here. I heard that Zhang Xianzhong's troops are stationed nearby. They are famous rebels who want to fight for our common people."
You call the shots, how could something like this still happen?"
When the vendors heard what he said, the expressions on their faces were full of anger: "You are talking about rebels? You don't know. There are no rebels these days. They just say it nicely. In fact, they are no different from bandits."
Several others also echoed, and Zhou Ze showed a thoughtful expression.
